I haven’t mailed an ornament yet but I went to a craft fair today.
Dangerous, dangerous place. Lots of ornament options. And other lovely things. I really, really wanted a quilt I saw… and it was absolutely worth the price (the workmanship was exquisite)… 1500 dollars isn’t too much, is it? (fortunately sanity - and the desire to make next month’s mortgage payment - prevailed).
My attempt to make homemade ornaments this year was truely sad. I had issues with the paint being too thick or too thin and not sticking to the glass. =( I probably need to start a thread asking for crafty-help =)
Anyways - sent one in the mail to my person! And, as a bonus, you can tie a ribbon to the top of the xmas card and hang on your tree too! You should have it just in time for xmas.
I received my ornament from hocow yesterday – a white glass ornament commemorating her hometown’s history. Thanks! (And the card survived just fine . . . hee hee!)
(I started taking guitar lessons recently, and there’s a song that I’ve been practicing that’s in my head quite a bit. See if you can guess which one it is, hocow . . . )
It is a really nice one, and I got it yesterday. Thank you very much. Now all I need is to get the tree up so I can put it on there.
Oh, and how did you know I love those peppermint bark squares? Thank you for the candy, too.
And btw, I sent mine. Should be there Monday. The recipient will be sharing a bit of what’s going into my kids’ stockings, too.
PHEW!!! Finally mailed mine, today. I’m afraid the package may not reach its recipient until after Christmas Bad MZ, no cookie!
To the recipient: no, I have not in fact mailed you two boxes of generic Prilosec antacids those were simply the only boxes I could find that would protect the ornaments and still fit in a padded mailer.
I have received one as well, though I haven’t opened the package yet - saving that for when I’d sent mine off and we actually have the Christmas tree set up (tonight, probably).
I opened my ornament tonight, from CrazyCatLady, and it’s a seriously cute bead+wire dragonfly that she made with her own two hands! I wish I were that creative!!
You mean Shenandoah? Haha, that’s what I was thinking originally, but then thirdwarning said she knew, so I thought maybe it was related to my screen name. Turns out, thirdwarning knew where I lived as she sent me my ornaments!
I got a very cute set of onion and garlic ornaments. She also packed some peppermint candies, Hershey kisses, and (I love you for these) Candy cane kisses.
Update:
It looks like everyone has sent out their ornament, unless I’ve mis-entered something.
